COLD WINTER'S KILL is a fast paced thriller that takes place in the scenic mountains of Lincoln County, New Mexico and throws Jim West into a race against time to stop a psychopath who abducts and kills a young blonde every Christmas... It was one of those phone calls Air Force Special Agent Jim West never wanted to receive--an old friend calling to ask if he could drive down to Ruidoso, New Mexico to help locate his daughter who has disappeared while on a ski trip with friends. Jim found himself heading to Ruidoso even though he believed, much like the local authorities, that if she had gone missing in the mountains in December, her survival chances were slim. He didn't want to be there when they found her, but still he drove on. Once in Ruidoso, Jim discovers a sinister coincidence that changes everything. It appears that someone is abducting and killing one young blond every year around Christmas. The race is on--can Jim locate his friend's daughter in time? But why is this happening and who's doing it? Jim can't wait for the local authorities to raise the priority of their search, or for the pending blizzard to pass. In his haste he puts himself in the killer's sights. Will he, too, suffer from a cold winter's kill? Praise "GREAT SUSPENSE In Cold Winter's Kill Bob Doerr grabs your attention from the beginning and holds it until the last sentence. Hard to put down " -- Shelba Nicholson, former Women's Editor, Texarkana Gazette "A MUST READ for anyone who loves a good mystery/thriller. My wife and I loved it and can't wait for the next one " -- Steve Polk, Lt. Gen. (ret.), US Air Force AUTHOR Bob Doerr grew up in a military family, attended the Air Force Academy, and then had a career of his own in the Air Force. It was a life style that had him moving every three or four years, but also one that exposed him to the people and cultures of numerous countries in Asia and Europe and to most of these United States. In the Air Force, Bob specialized in criminal investigations and counterintelligence, gaining significant insight to the worlds of crime, espionage and terrorism, which he uses to provide authentic details in his novels about how law enforcement agencies do their work.

More a thriller than a mystery, this book will have you ducking and wincing at every turn as you follow Jim West's investigation into the disappearance of his friends' daughter, as he is violently met by nearly every suspect. Having small-town culture down to a science, the characters are easy to understand. Mix in a little romantic interest and there's something for everyone to enjoy in this book.

Overall, an entertaining and quick read. The author needs to look at getting a different editor, however, as punctuation and grammar mistakes throughout were a little distracting. ( )
